@chmomnj @JensenClasses @KLiskChemHHS @TeacherKamps Thanks so much!! I appreciate students like Hayley who make my job easy by always being KREPS!!

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

@chmomnj so impressive!! I've never seen such delicious sedimentary rock before🧁

[loribwat @chmomnj]

Love the extra activities for kids who like doing a little more. "Create a rock layer dessert" to learn about sedimentary rocks.#distancelearning @MsBlandford

@6thGr_Math love this so much!!

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

@6thGr_Math @GoogleForEdu @alicekeeler never heard of this before.. looking into it now, looks like a great option too. thanks for sharing!! have a relaxing spring break!

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

@6thGr_Math @GoogleForEdu @alicekeeler There's also an option to erase all writing/drawing at once when you move to the next slide. Let me know if you want to try this option and need any help!

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

@6thGr_Math @GoogleForEdu @alicekeeler If you are recording using screencastify (now that we have the premium version!!), there's a "pen option" so that you can write. It works best using tablet mode. It can't be used in "present" mode of google slides but it works if you click through the slides.

I've been loving google meets to video call my students. They're excited to feel like they're part of the "work from home video conference memes". They also enjoy connecting face-to-face with their peers again, even if we spend half the call showing off our pets😬🐶

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

Day 1 of remote learning has been flying by! I'm proud of my students display of self motivation, accountability, and responsibility! See GC for directions, assignments and screencastify video. Oh and happy St. Patrick's day from my (thrilled that I'm home with them all day) dogs

Today we discovered the affects of limiting factors and resource availability on population growth. In our simulation, space was the limiting factor, preventing larger groups of students from completing the puzzle in the shortest time, within the space available (1 square meter).

Power? ...give us another day to redesign!

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

@chmomnj I'm glad the enthusiasm was just as apparent at home as it was in lab!

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

the look when you realize you're looking at REAL human blood, lung (both below), stomach, and skin cells under the microscope, all to figure out why humans can't produce our own food
*because we don't have chloroplast- the organelle in plant cells (below) that does photosynthesis

[Ms. Blandford @MsBlandford]

starting our geological timeline activity - students will be making a timeline (to scale) of Earth's 4.6 billion year history!
from ✨☄️💥🌎💫 to 🏔🌋then 🦠to🦕🦖and now💃🏼🕺
a lot can happen in 4.6 billion years!!
